LINDEN – Two unidentified people died and another was badly injured in a two-car crash Wednesday afternoon just east of Linden, authorities said.

A 91-year-old man and his 90-year-old female passenger were traveling south on North Fine Road in a 2014 Hyundai about 1:45 p.m. when they ran a stop sign at Highway 26, the California Highway Patrol said. The Hyundai collided with the left side of a 2006 Chevy driven by Michael Murphy, a 46-year-old Stockton resident, officers said.

As a result of the collision, the elderly couple sustained fatal injuries, the CHP said. Neither of their names have been released, but both were residents of Linden, authorities said.

Murphy suffered major injuries in the crash and was transported to a hospital for treatment, officers said. Investigators have not determined whether drugs or alcohol were a factor in the collision, the CHP said.
